Nostradamus C7 Q02: Cabalah for commenting on the human soul.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

Centuries seven has only forty-two verses and it acts as Nostradamus' Cabalistic Book of Names; a guide to the sounds he associated with actions and a list of people and places.

So the first line of text could be telling us par mars with its double ar sound represents war  while Arles doesn't.

Other chapters hold similar clues but in this cluster Nostradamus emphasises a single theme.

In this verse (C7 Q02) he compares the ancient arts for coding messages to his own and suggests they are of a similar ancestry and united by a common purpose. They are a commentary on the human soul.

One other sound he uses is that of the letter zee (3 times), with the sounds ouz and ez in the last ine indicating where codes about traitors and fanatics are prominent.

That this group of verses has a special purpose is highlighted by there being only three verses where the vital anagram for centuries can be found and this is one of them.
